DNA evidence has recently linked a suspected serial killer, Bruce Lindahl, to the 45-year-old cold case of Kathy Halle, a suburban Chicago woman who was kidnapped and murdered in 1979. The confirmation of Lindahl's DNA on Halle's clothing sheds light on a case that has haunted authorities for decades.
Halle was reportedly abducted in March 1979 after leaving her North Aurora apartment complex. Her body was discovered weeks later in the Fox River, approximately 40 miles west of Chicago. Lindahl, who is believed to have been responsible for the deaths of multiple women and girls, was found dead in 1981 in Naperville, having apparently bled to death after accidentally slashing a major artery in his leg while fatally stabbing an 18-year-old man.
